2739, NSW 3500, VIC

Postcode 3500 and postcode 2739 are neighbouring areas with very different scales and characters. Postcode 3500 is much larger, with a population of 34,565 and a far more urban feel, including high public transport use and 89.6% of homes within a short walk of a stop. In contrast, postcode 2739 is more rural and sparsely populated, with only 1,414 people and a 25-minute walk to the nearest stop. There is a significant gap in housing and demographics; 36.7% of households in postcode 3500 rent, compared to 22.7% in postcode 2739, and postcode 3500 has a much higher share of people born overseas (17.2% versus 9.8%).

Since 2011, the two areas have drifted further apart in several ways. The gap in rental rates and the share of people moving in from elsewhere have both widened, while postcode 3500 has seen a growing increase in people born overseas and those using a language other than English at home. Despite these diverging trends, the two areas remain similar in some basics. Both have almost the same share of adults with a bachelor degree or higher (around 14%) and very similar typical monthly home-loan payments of $1,300.
